Toy of the Rovers

Some of my favourite 'rover' art featuring our friend the SWORD Scramble Bug amongst others. 1 and 5 from the top are original pieces by readers Andy B and Mike B respectively. Third down, Die Bewohner des Gruenen Planeten, has a cover by the fabulous German space artist Klaus Beurgle. Google him and be amazed.


To coincide with these rovers and NASA's Curiosity's trundling around Mars have a listen to Jethro Tull's rockin'  Rover from the brilliant Heavy Horses album, courtesy of You Tube. Enjoy!
